We had the most amazing family getaway here! The design of the place is stunning – you can tell they thought of every little detail. The private lake was absolutely perfect and so relaxing, and we loved the special treats of delicious cookies and muffins. Everything made us feel so welcome and cared for. We truly had an unforgettable family experience and will definitely be coming back again!

What an incredible property and incredible hosts! I would highly recommend staying at the Hidden Pond. We had children, adults and dogs and everyone enjoyed it equally. I would also say it would be worth it to have a day with light plans to be able to enjoy the property.

Beautiful house with gorgeous pond and hiking trails on property! Host was very good about communicating regarding property. Thoughtful touches: muffins, seltzer, fruit for guests along with well-appointed kitchen. Outdoor deck. About a half an hour from downtown Victoria. Note that host controls the heating/cooling but is available to adjust.

Great place to stay on Vancouver Island

This place is wonderful! Jo-Ann made us feel so welcomed. Her place is beautifully equipped,including welcoming fruits and sweet treats. After a long day of travel,we enjoyed a dip in Hidden Pond followed by a relaxing soak in the hot tub. Our only regret was that we didn’t bring our children and grandchildren with us to enjoy this wonderful spot.

Myself, my parents, and our two dogs stayed here and absolutely loved it!! We were a short drive to Victoria (didn't have enough time to explore Sooke or Metchosin this time), and sometimes didn't even want to leave as there was so much to do at the house! It was so quiet and peaceful. We loved the hot tub, pond with floaties, hammock, trail to walk the pups, the incredible deck to watch the sunset, and berry picking. The kitchen was wonderful and had everything we needed to make a special birthday dinner for my dad or anything else! Jo-Ann and Rob were wonderful hosts, fantastic communication. 100/10, would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Wish we could have stayed longer

The property is immaculate and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house was big enough to fit all 8 of us comfortably and has plenty of room to stretch out. The kids loved the pond. Thanks for your hospitality Jo-Ann and Rob!

Paradise

Such an amazing spot for our first visit to Canada! The pond was a blast! My kiddos loved kayaking/swimming and finding frogs & salamanders. I loved spending time in the balcony and listening to the birds. Our kiddos loved the fire pit and the playhouse in the blueberry garden. Plenty of space for the 4 of us and the bunk beds were a huge hit! Everything was lovely and we can’t wait to come back!
